About the Book

""Modern Greek Folklore and Ancient Greek Religion: A Study in Survivals"" is a scholarly work by John Cuthbert Lawson that explores the connections between modern Greek folklore and ancient Greek religion. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part examining the survival of ancient Greek religious beliefs and practices in modern Greek folklore. The second part delves into the ways in which modern Greek folklore has influenced and shaped the understanding of ancient Greek religion. Lawson draws on a wide range of sources, including folk tales, songs, and customs, as well as ancient texts and archaeological evidence. He argues that despite the centuries that have passed since the heyday of ancient Greek religion, many of its beliefs and practices have persisted in the popular imagination of the Greek people. At the same time, he shows how modern Greek folklore has helped to shape and reinterpret ancient Greek religion, creating a complex and dynamic relationship between the two. Overall, ""Modern Greek Folklore and Ancient Greek Religion: A Study in Survivals"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the enduring legacy of ancient Greek religion and the ways in which it continues to shape the cultural identity of modern Greece. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mythology, folklore, or the history of religion.1909. This book is the outcome of work undertaken in Greece during Mr. Lawson's two years' tenure of the Craven Studentship from 1898 to 1900. The scheme of the work originally proposed was the investigation of the customs and superstitions of modern Greece in their possible bearing upon the life and thought of ancient Greece. Partial Contents: survival of tradition; survival of pagan deities; communion of gods and men; relation of soul and body; cremation and inhumation; benefit of dissolution; union of gods and men; index of Greek words and phrases.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
